Got there. I reckon we might be bringing a few blokes in next week.

 

Great win.  Players fading in the last.  2 weakened by covid. 3- 4 hadn't played AFL tempo for a while.

Bank the 4 points and move on.


bank it and move on

Very few highlights save that Bedford is ready.

Not sure what if anything it did to solve the Weid v T Mac debate

Need to play a lot better next week

Full credit to Hawthorn.

But Max and Tracca stood up big time.

so to Oliver.

The reliable trio.

Nice cameo from Bedford

Edited by leave it to deever

The absolute putrid biased commentators were over the top.

 

How about talking up the team with 5 out

 

Very happy for Bedford. A game which could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

We were cooked in the last. Our forward entries were as bad as possible


Top 8 taking shape.  Cream rising to the top.

No matter what happens this round we will be 2 games clear of 5th team (and maybe 4th).

Strong position.

When you win under those conditions it proves you are a very good team. Go Dees!

Still haven't beaten anyone above us. Oh!


The Hawks are always a nuisance against us, I'm just glad we take the points and there were some good positives today (not the covid ones), like Bedford. 

Another game where we should take the 4 points and move on, hopefully with more of our list available.

A little wobbly at times, but we'll get there - definitely by the time we win the flag again this year.

 

A wakeup call without losing is a good result, hawthorn showed everyone the blueprint on how to beat us, take it quick through the corridor and keep lever accountable. 

Need to tidy up our forward fifty entries as well, we kept sitting it on top of a contest and expected someone to clunk it which didnt look nearly as good hitting up a lead. 

I think this game also shows how important Goody is, feel like his influence on the boundary line is a lot more important than we know

Watching 2 teams having a red hot go, both butchering the ball at every opportunity, both equally clumsy, sloppy and error-riddled, for the Dees to do things 5% cleaner and get the win. So glad we bat deep int our list because that was very close to a loss tonight.

A lot of rusty players, and by the end of the game, tired. 

But we won, are still on top, and so far can take on every challenge.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
